Introducing MCN's New Column

In Brief Participants in our MCN Editorial Fellowship have shared a variety of gaps in knowledge and skill in preparing a manuscript for journal publication. We decided to resurrect a type of column that was featured in MCN from 1981 to 1997, Keys to Research. Although the name implies a sole focus on research, much of the content included advice on scholarly writing. We are pleased to introduce our new column, Writing and Research Tips from Experts in this issue. It is fitting that our inaugural column is authored by one of our 2025 MCN Editorial Fellows, Kelsie Barta PhD, APRN, FNP-C, IBCLC. We hope you enjoy the column, and we welcome suggestions for topics and authors.
